Aug 07, 2017

Whew! Did you have a fabulous weekend? I had an incredible and very fun class with my gals on Friday night -- an ASE's Class (Advanced Stampin' Experts); and we had so much fun creating Mixed Media Art Canvas. It was amazing how each person's canvas turned out different, with the color variations and the layout of the fun media they had to attach and stamp. It really was a fabulous evening together.

Saturday I joined a friend at the Farmer's Market and for a lovely mid-morning brunch and long chat. She is a dear sweet friend and I love spending time with her.

Sunday was busy getting caught up around the house a little - and so now here we are kicking off another busy week! Are you ready? How about a Mix-It Up Monday to get you going and get those creative juices flowing too!! 😉

Last Friday we kicked off a new product and theme focus. Today we continue with our look at the Colorful Seasons bundle; my top pick from the Annual Catalog ~ oh what a beautiful set of dies and stamps!!

Mix-It Up Mondays is all about trying new things; sharing fun techniques; and creating something other than just a basic card! Today's fun project is a gift bag, created simply and easily using our Gift Bag Punch Board. I love this punch board and how nicely it creates a sweet little bag that can be used for so many fun things like treats, and little gifts. Are you ready for a closer look and some technique tips today?

I created a medium size bag for today's project; which if you follow the measurement directions on the board means you need an 11" length of cardstock; I made mine 6" wide which is kind of a good height and the perfect little size bag!

Old Olive is my color of choice; after cutting and creating the bag shape, I ran it through the big shot using the Woodland textured impressions embossing folder. Because of the 11" length, you'll have to run it through twice; and what a perfect background for our leaves today!

Speaking of leaves, have you ever seen anything as pretty as these dies?? Yummy!

Today's project was created using a "stained glass" look for the leaves.

This is easy and fun, and has a lovely "wow" factor! Who wouldn't love getting this package? Forget what's inside -- LOL

Then sponge ink color of your choice on the back of the vellum pieces.

Then adhere the detailed piece over the top of the Vellum piece - use a glue of your choice . . . fine-tip, 2-way, or even better! Try the new adhesive sheets by adhering one to the back of your foil before cutting out your die; then you can easily peel off the backing and place the die cut right on the Vellum easy peasy! Any of these ways will work to put the two pieces together!

Now how gorgeous is that!!!

Don't you just love it!!??!!

I am loving the new color combinations for this Fall -- try this one for some beautiful results! That Fresh Fig!!! Oh my!!!

The simple Very Vanilla banner was punched using the Banner Triple Punch; I attached two of the leaves to the top of the banner, and one "falling" off the tip.

Attach to the top of the back, tie a pretty Crushed Curry 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon through the bag holes, and you have a fabulous gift bag!! Now, let's see . . . I think we could fill this one with caramel candies -- heeeheee 😉

I hope you have enjoyed today's fun project and stampin' tips! I highly recommend that you purchase this bundle as we step into the upcoming season here! You will get a lot of runway out of this set! Stay tuned for Wednesday's blog post; we'll step through some "technique tips" with the Adirondack chair die and how you can get all sorts of fun uses out of it!! And there is a lot more coming later this week!! Hope you'll join me 🙂

Have you cashed in those Bonus Days Coupons yet?? Now is the time! They expire at the end of the month, and I would hate to see you throw "money" down the drain. Why not cash in those coupons on a Colorful Seasons bundle in my Online Store today!!?? You will love having these products in your craft room.

And we are having some "early Fall" weather around here this week. Much cooler weather is heading our way later tomorrow. I am relishing it though. It has been too hot for me. I like it just a touch cooler. And rain!! My favorite!! 😉

Happy Monday --- and happy last day of July! WOW! Hard to believe isn't it? This month flew by for me; how about you? And I'm flying into August at a million miles an hour. So much going on, so little time!! LOL

I'm super excited as all the demonstrators saw the new Holiday Occasions catalog last week for the first time; and our pre-order period begins tomorrow! Oh My!! We have a beautiful Fall and holiday season ahead, let me tell ya'!! You are going to absolutely LOVE everything about this new catalog. But I digress . . . too soon!! LOL

Today to round our Christmas In July series, we're going to play with a couple of pretty little tags (or bookmarks as I often see them as) . . . Let's play with our Mix-It Up Monday fun!!

Tags can be a lot of fun. They can be really ornate with all sort of stuff on them; or they can be just really simple and quick.

A tag can be as much of a collector as the cards you give; it's all up to you and how much you want to put into them.

Today's tags are somewhere in the middle of those two extremes. Enough details to make them really special; but not so over the top as to take forever to create.

I made one more "antiqued" and vintage; and the other fresher and a touch more simple in design.

Let's take a closer look 😉

Both tags are cut from Very Vanilla cardstock - 2" x 4-1/2" - and topped off with the easy peasy Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. I really adore that punch!!

This tag was stamped with the Sheet Music background stamp in Smoky Slate, and then sponged all over with Soft Suede to give a vintaged antiqued look.

I added the sentiment from the Peace this Christmas stamp set stamped in Craft Whisper White ink; then embossed that again with White embossing powder.

All the images are from the same stamp set, inked in Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler.

Then I added some Inka Gold (using a sponge dauber - and "sponging off" some of the excess first) in an Old Gold coloring, all around the edges - kind of like "gilding". It is so pretty.

I tried to catch some of the shimmer of the gilding in this photo - but it is unfortunately really hard to do.

It is gorgeous in person -- and a truly pretty vintage tag.

This tag, as I indicated earlier, is a "fresher" look.

I chose our new Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst color combinations - and just really love it. It feels so bright!

This sentiment is from the Oh What Fun stamp set; and all the fun holly is from the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set.

I also used the Holly Berry Builder Punch to created fun little holly bunches to pop up on the front; and added a few Glimmer Enamel Dots for some added sparkle.

Both tags use some of our fun new luscious ribbon - I really love the new crinkled seam binding. It is so soft!!

I hope you had fun today! And that you feel a little bit inspired. It feels early to be thinking about all this; but what if I told you it as only 147 days until Christmas? Eeeeeek!!! That scared me a little bit!! It will be here before you know it!!
